IllSkyHelix111@reddit (OP)
these came up in discussion the other day in the $100 MICH helmet thread
i bought one of these Busch a few weeks ago for $150 and at the time of the MICH thread they were back up to $200. i noticed they were on sale again this weekend so am posting in case anyone wants to hop on. mine seems like-new never-worn, smells vaguely of para-ara-aramids and bonding agents, like a newish made thing, with not a whiff of bacon fat or tomboy sweat. i am not an armor nerd, i just figured it'd be a good thing to have on hand, and it's German-made. Aren't German-made things nice?
here are a few photos of the one i got. date of manufacture: 2018
Ninep@reddit
Can I pay extra for tomboy sweat to be included?
Recent-Honey5564@reddit
This sub has really been cuttin it up lately and I’m here for it.
rrrice3@reddit
Me too. Pretty sure I got banned from another subreddit for being too "punny" and not providing enough to contribute to the seriousness of the discussion.
WooHoo2You@reddit
I got banned from this sub....for years because deal titles at the time weren't allowed to be "funny." I appealed countless times until a mod got tired of my near constant badgering.
I learned my lesson though....now I don't post deals because why risk it.

Need this kind of energy here more often.
Sharp_Oral@reddit
I need 65cm for my massive noggin
IllSkyHelix111@reddit (OP)
oh yeah, thanks for reminding me
these are 52cm - 63cm
ICBMinyourpocket@reddit
What size would that be? Medium?
RyAllDaddy69@reddit
It’s a normal-person size head.
Not for some giant-melon fucking freak-of-nature head like u/Sharp_Oral .

I’m dead…that’s fucking hilarious.
Glad to see you’re not letting your natural, fully seeded-sized watermelon head hold you back in life. Keep on living your best life Edward H. Rulloff.
internetenjoyer69420@reddit
shots fired
IllSkyHelix111@reddit (OP)
it's adjustable, this is a range
in motorcycle helmet language this is apparently from XS - XL
ICBMinyourpocket@reddit
Gotcha, so in ACH terms it would be a larger shell?
IllSkyHelix111@reddit (OP)
i hope someone else can answer this cuz tbh idk and my brain siezed up doing the math converting from cm to inches to US hat sizes
the MSA sizing is on page 2 here:
https://media.msanet.com/www/PDFs/MSAFrontLine/CatalogPDFs/ACH.pdf
BBQSauce61@reddit
Its like the low end of medium to low end of XL if my google fu is correct on the conversion from cm to in and the sizing of US helmets.
Volunteer_Hammer@reddit
Felt, 24 7/8 head :(
Funny_Handyman@reddit
Dude, what? Your head is only 5 inches smaller than my waist
Volunteer_Hammer@reddit
Yea, I’m a large guy

thanks, marked
GuysLeeFanboy@reddit
Never heard of this brand before. Are these just ACHs?
USSZim@reddit
Pretty much. They are a German manufacturer for mostly police. These are the specs for this model https://gharmor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/AMP-1-E-IIIA-Ballistic-Helmet-Spec.pdf
It is pretty much the same as any other aramid ACH style helmet.
mavric91@reddit
So what goes on the side rails if you can’t use ear pro with these?
Wunktacular@reddit
You use earpro with a neck band, guys are not going into battle with their ears open. Some models allow you to rearrange pads internally to run a traditional headband, not sure if this helmet allows for that.
The arc rails on this helmet are good for lights, both visible and IR, as well as IR strobes. Some mount cameras to the helmet instead of on the chest rig. If your application requires a face shield or mandible, that's how you mount it.
Using pic rail adaptors (TW makes good quick release adaptors) you can mount just about anything your heart desires.
Most of that is high speed shit for actual professionals though, and you're not running NODS with this helmet because it doesn't have a mount for them, so it's not a night time accessory. For us, it's just a GoPro mount.
BradtotheBones@reddit
GoPro so we can watch the footage after you get clapped 😏
AccomplishedNote7365@reddit
Use ear pro under ? That’s how ear pro was used before operator cuts were a thing.
TheHeavyWeapon@reddit
I honestly prefer to wear ear pro under the helmet. If things ever get to the point i need a goddamn ballistic helmet i’m gonna want as much helmet coverage as possible.
arethius@reddit
Use the rails as guides and cut that shit
notenoughtamamo@reddit
Could mount a light, not much else though I don’t think
GuysLeeFanboy@reddit
This and an ACH Kustom chop
cyclorphan@reddit
Holding out for a FAST helm, but this looks like a good deal.
FrankyBenjamin@reddit
Thanks for posting. Can these readily be drilled for a shroud?
Famanche@reddit
You can generally get away with drilling and cutting shells so long as you seal them back up afterwards to prevent moisture and other stuff from infiltrating into the aramid layers.
younocallMkII@reddit
What do you seal it with? Epoxy?
auto-cortex@reddit
Seems neat but I spent all my moneys on the nods.. Could I use my super amazing dremel and high cut this bad boi?
IllSkyHelix111@reddit (OP)
when is "no" ever part of a dremel-related answer
auto-cortex@reddit
Truth and I mean I’ve never had a dremel session end without joy

Got one last week. Definitely worth it! 🙌🙌
